AI Contract Overview

The contract involves a sole source procurement to increase the ceiling of an existing Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity contract with Titan Pulse Science Division, which currently stands at $35 million and will be raised by $8.5 million to a new ceiling of $43.5 million. This contract supports the Defense Threat Reduction Agency's (DTRA) terawatt-class radiation simulators used by the Nuclear Weapons Effects community, providing a range of scientific and technical services including system development, engineering qualification tests, survivability demonstrations, and pulsed power experiments. The contract covers specialized expertise, technical support, analysis services, and the development and maintenance of Government Furnished Equipment tailored for test environments needed in this specialized field. The increase in the contract ceiling is driven by unexpected growth in customer testing demands and additional simulator development tasks that exceed original budget estimates. Specifically, there has been a significant yearly increase of approximately 31% in external test customer support and $1.8 million above average annual costs for maintenance and repair. The contract is awarded under the authority that allows for other than full and open competition, citing federal acquisition regulations, and this notice does not solicit competitive proposals. The work is administered from Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico under the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, a Department of Defense entity.

Full Description

This is a sole source procurement to increase the contract ceiling to an existing contract with Titan Pulse Science Division (dba L-3 Communications Titan Corporation, Pulse Sciences). The increase in the ceiling is $8.5 million from the current ceiling of $35 million to a new ceiling of $43.5 million. The scope of work of this Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract (#DTRA01-02-D-0005) is to provide a broad range of recurring requirements for scientific, technical, application engineering and scientific services, technical support, analysis services, facility engineering and technology and supplies. The major purposes of the contract are to procure specialized expertise and services essential for performing system development and engineering qualifications tests, survivability demonstrations, modeling and validation and certification requirements analysis and pulsed power experiments. The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) terawatt-class radiation simulators are Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) and are customized to provide the test environments needed by the Nuclear Weapons Effects (NWE) communities. The raise in ceiling is needed because of an unexpected amount of customer testing and additional tasks placed on the contract in support of simulator development above estimated operation and maintenance costs. There has been an average increase of 31%/year of external test customer support and $1.8M above average cost per year for maintenance and repair. The statutory authority for other than full and open competition is 10 USC 2304(c)(1) implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1. THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS.
